Our pals Jeff and Liz tied the knot this weekend in Lewes, DE and the celebration has nearly ended--three days later. This afternoon a group of us unwound by heading up the coast to Port Mahon Road to see the concentrations of shorebirds feasting on horseshoe crab eggs. I tried like crazy to get a good shot of a red knot, but they were pretty skittish (lots of holiday makers on the beaches) and would not sit tight for a good photo.

I have a feeling we'll be talking about this wedding for a long time to come--it was quite a happening scene. Thanks Jeff and Liz for including us in your big day!

About Bill

Bill of the Birds

Bill Thompson III is the editor of Bird Watcher's Digest by day. He's also a keen birder, the author of many books, a dad, a field trip leader, an ecotourism consultant, a guitar player, the host of the "This Birding Life" podcast, a regular speaker/performer on the birding festival circuit, a gentleman farmer, and a fungi to be around. His North American life list is somewhere between 673 and 675. His favorite bird is the red-headed woodpecker. His "spark bird" was a snowy owl. He has watched birds in 25 countries and 44 states. But his favorite place to watch birds is on the 80-acre farm he shares with his wife, artist/writer Julie Zickefoose. Some kind person once called Bill "The Pied Piper of Birding" and he has been trying to live up to that moniker ever since.
